Good idea using expanding foam to get insulation to fit and I have similar heat sinks and fans. Should be able to find a similar box with seals etc from Bunnings or an electrical wholesaler and I love his temp indicator on top. Dick Smith maybe .. ?
Almost ashamed to post up pix of my amateur attempt now. I'll try it and see how it works anyway but I'm off to Bunnings next weekend for sure .... 
At 18* below ambient you probably still won't have hit the dew point. I get about 9* below with the ZWO but that is contact cooled, well insulated and I built a silica dry cell in the camera and a warmed front window. |
Any effort is a good effort, it's not about aesthetics - As long as it works! So good on you for trying.
Have been looking at hinged outdoor electrical plastic boxes - readily available.
The heat pump he has used also looks interesting but weights 750 grams, so quite heavy.
Noticed that Orion stopped selling their cooled DSLR boxes. Wonder why?
